Thank you for covering this story. You did it in such an educated manner through credible sources. It is frightening to know that the average American is unaware of the atrocities committed daily by their own government (not just in the US, but also abroad). It is also concerning that people can't see past a Democrat/Republican perspective to realize that this is an issue that should concern human beings regardless of political affiliation. Denying something happened does not mean that it didn't. I think it takes a great people to admit they have wronged others and work towards correcting it, while it is very easy for a cowered to deny responsibility for such events. I truly respect your perspective because you did not make any allegations. You merely stated facts collected from already existing sources (like the declassified memos, Marc Thiessen article, and Charlie Savage's takeover) and connected them in a comprehensive manner. On behave of active participants in the Human Rights world I thank you for your active voice despite the skewed opposition from uneducated (on the topic) commentators (like the ones above).

I do love that you brought Austin Powers into the debate on interrogation (or torture which I don't think the US practices.) As happens in the real world, Austin questioned him with care, but the enemy was the one who treated him terribly, the blow dart being the metaphor for a beheading. And now I bring the debate here from your Facebook page.
